NintendoCapriSun was pointing a VHS camcorder at his TV and talking while playing video games when he was a literal child, and he's 42 years old. That means he has been doing it for 24 years minimum. DSP has been doing it for 11 maximum.
Lets put this shit to rest once and for all.
If you want to get really technical (:autism
, then The Turk was technically the first video game because people didn't know it was actually a human operating the machine.
First of all, "video game" is defined as
A "monitor" is defined as
"an instrument or device used for observing, checking, or keeping a continuous record of a process or quantity."
So The Turk, although deceptive, was actually a video game.
A "Lets Play" is defined by Urban Dictionary (its hip youth lingo after all)
In 1809, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte played The Turk publicly:

The game had "screen shots" with hand drawn pictures:
And Chess autists from the time kept meticulous logs of the gameplay (Twin Galaxies certified):
Not only that, but Napoleon provided his own quality commentary during the "game play":
"Napoleon, characteristically overstepping the barrier which separated the Turk from the audience, struck his hand on the automaton’s chessboard and exclaimed, ‘I will not contend at a distance! We fight face to face.’ A grave nod indicated the Turk’s assent, and the game began."

When Napoleon got cucked by The Turk he even made up some bullshit lag excuse like DSP does and slammed his "controller":
TLDR: anyone who claims they made the first lets play got cucked by a french manlet called napoleon fucking bonaparte 200 years ago
